The Beauty of an Ordinary Day
#50
Today marks two weeks since Tim headed back to Oregon and the lake. He's been enjoying reconnecting with friends and family, tackling projects around his house, and after years without one, buying a boat that is going to bring us a very different kind of summer on the water. I can already picture afternoons on the lake and new adventures ahead.
Here in Texas, life has gotten quieter. Not lonely, just quieter.

The Good That Is Trying to Find You
#49
What an upward spiral these past couple of weeks have been.
I have heard it said before that the month leading up to your birthday can sometimes feel surprisingly intense. As one cycle completes and another begins, old stories, emotions, and patterns often rise to the surface one more time asking to be seen.
Whether that is astrology, energy, or simply life doing what it does, I could certainly feel it.

The Joy That Comes After
#48
What an exciting and glorious last couple of weeks! After so much work establishing myself over the past months, I was met with some incredibly fun and meaningful life moments.
After four months, I was finally on a plane again headed to Washington State to spend time with my son for his college graduation as I mentioned in the last blog. I really do love to travel, and it was such a heart-filling time. Because the hotels and lodging in the area were so overpriced, I opted to sleep on the sofa in his apartment which actually gave me even more time with him and his sweet girlfriend — an unexpected bonus.

The Life I Said Yes To
#47
It’s now the middle of the night, and after only a few hours of sleep, I am wide awake and thinking. Not an unusual habit for me, although I have been sleeping quite well recently, so this feels more like a rare occurrence than the usual this time around.
An offer was made and accepted on a new construction 55 and over community home in a city right near Dallas! Construction should begin next month with completion before the end of the year.

What Home Feels Like
#46
These past couple of weeks have been such a heart-warming and soul-filling time.
My brother drove up from Houston for a two-night visit, and just being together again felt easy and familiar, like no time had passed. There was something about sitting together that reminded me how much of life lives in these simple moments we often move too quickly through. We also connected with one of Tim’s good friends from high school and his wife who are becoming family in this new chapter.

The Power of Your Voice
#45
Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the power of voice — not just what we say, but the energy behind the words we choose.
There is a frequency to our voice. A vibration that moves outward, often more subtly than we realize. When we speak from fear or frustration, that energy spreads. When we speak from grounded clarity, compassion, or truth, that spreads too.
Our words shape more than conversations. They shape the atmosphere around us.

Turning Towards the Light
#44
I’m writing this on the day of the Spring Equinox, when light and dark meet in perfect balance — equal hours of day and night, a quiet reminder of the natural rhythm we’re all part of.
We’ve just moved through a Pisces New Moon, Mercury is finally direct after three weeks of retrograde, and we’re also in the energetic window of eclipse season — a time that tends to stir what’s been hidden, asking us to release, reset, and realign. It’s been a big few weeks, both collectively and personally.

When You Listen to Yourself
#43
People sometimes ask me what it takes to keep moving forward — how I don’t seem to get stuck in the loops of habitual thinking or second-guessing every decision.
For me, the answer is simple, though not always easy to practice. I believe there is a higher intelligence guiding all of us toward our highest and best. I personally call that Life energy Spirit. Others might call it God, the Universe, Source, or simply intuition. Whatever name we give it, aligning with that greater life force is what allows us to step into the fullest expression of ourselves.

The Courage to Try
#42
There is a time and season for everything in life, and I have found myself often trying new things that do not gain traction in the way I would have liked. Sometimes I can feel embarrassment in that — oh, I tried it and really felt like it was in resonance, so why didn’t it take off? I have built the internal muscle of moving into action, which takes courage, but then an old paradigm of shame can emerge when, over time, it doesn’t convert.
